Senator Ademola Adeleke has described the new leadership of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) as the winning team that will return the party to power in the forthcoming elections in the country, Top Naija reports.

Senator Adeleke who is one of the PDP gubernatorial aspirants in the 2022 Osun Gubernatorial Election made this known on Thursday while submitting his nomination and expression of interest form at the party’s National Secretariat in Abuja.

During a closed-door meeting with leaders of the party which included the National Deputy Chairman South, Ambassador Taofeeq Arapaja, Adeleke disclosed that his aspiration to contest the gubernatorial election again in 2022 is to conclude the struggle he began in 2018 and to ensure victory in the rescue mission agenda.

The Ede-born senator who acknowledged that Osun was in bad shape revealed that he has a four point agenda to resuscitate the state and place it on the path of real growth, adding that the government was operating without the drive to shape the state and achieve innovation.

Adeleke also agreed that the Iyorchia Ayu-led leadership of the party will mark a new dawn in the struggle for a PDP led government that will fulfil the many yearnings and aspiration of Nigerians.

He revealed that his four point agenda would prioritise industrialisation and target export. The social programme will focus on skill based education, sustainable healthcare, job creation, agricultural scheme, skill acquisition for youths and engagement projects.

While expressing appreciation for the massive support he got from the people in 2018, he assured them that help is on the way.

“I am back to seek a fresh mandate in our collective struggle for good governance.

“To our party men and women, we seek their mandate to lead the party to victory next year. We are ready on all accounts to provide purposeful candidacy. With God and people, we will take over Osun state next year.”

Adeleke started his political career in 2001 alongside his late brother Senator Isiaka Adeleke who died in April 2017. He contested at the Osun west 2017 by-election after the death of his brother, emerging as the winner under the People’s Democratic Party.

Ademola was a member under the All Progressives Congress until he decamped to the People’s Democratic Party in April 2017
